13 Great WordPress Speed Tips & Tricks for MAX Performance

2011-02-18T20:18:00.000+07:00

Performance is a key factor for any successful website. And since WordPress is becoming more popular than ever, it will only be at its best when raised in the proper conditions. Here are a few things to try if you find that your WordPress site is not performing as well as it could be due to high traffic or hidden issues you don’t know about.

Some Basic & Simple Steps

1. Upgrade to latest WordPress release

WordPress 2.7 have manny performance improvements over previous versions. So you better upgrade to latest release to make use of this.

2. Remove unnecessary Plugins & upgrade current ones

Remove any plugins that you aren’t using. Deactivate them and physically delete them from your web server. Deactivated plugins will affect the speed of a site because the WordPress checks to see if they are activated or not. Also you must stay up to date with the latest versions of the plugins you are currently using. Developers release new versions because they’ve modified the code in some way to make the plugin work better.

3. Minimize PHP and database queries

I read about this great tip on Wpcandy’s simple ways to speed up WordPress post. It makes a lot of sense, cutting down on PHP and database queries. Each time a page on your site loads, if your browser has to execute any PHP queries, it adds to the load time. If you replace the PHP queries with static HTML, every time a page loads, your browser just reads the HTML.

4. Optimize and Repair your Database from myPhpAdmin

Every week or so you should login to your myPhpAdmin and optimize your db. Locate your WordPress DatabaseTables, check all the tables in the Check Boxes, select the Optimise Tables Option and repair. You would be surprised how well this trick might work, it saved more than 10% of my current database size.

Take a good care of your Images

5. Use Reliable image hosting service

Try moving the common web images, CSS, JavaScript and other static files to Amazon S3 Storage service and you will notice the average CPU load / memory requirement of the web server will be reduced a lot. Read this step by step guide.

You can also try this WordPress plugin, WP-Offload will boost the performance of your blog by seamlessly offloading static content like images, documents and movies. This will greatly reduce bandwidth consumption and the number of HTTP requests issued to your web server. Additional features such as remote image manipulation and thumbnail generation are provided.

6. Optimize your images with this great tool

Shrink O’Matic is an AIR application to easily (batch) resize (shrink) images. It handles JPGs, GIFs and PNGs. Simply drag and drop images and they’ll be resized as you wish! Options allow you to choose the output sizes, names and formats.

Great Advices for better performance

7.Install WP Super Cache Plugin

I guess many of you know why we always insist on using this plugin. This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After an html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts and will not actually load any content from the database at all therefore the post will load faster with less stress on your server.

8.PHP Speedy WP

PHP Speedy WP can quickly and easily speed up your WordPress site and improve your blog’s response time without too much effort on your side by allowing us to automatically combine all JS and CSS files into only two files – which in turn helps greatly with page loading times. CSS Background Images are automatically converted to data URIs. This is useful in reducing the amount of HTTP requests even further. And, importantly, it’s compatible with Internet Explorer, even though it doesn’t support data URIs. Unfortunately, PHP speedy comes with few flaws out of box that need fixing: Combined JavaScript is placed at the top of the page instead at the bottom, it does not work with WP Super Cache. In order to get this two working like we want them, you have to check this great article by Prelovac to make few adjustments to both plugins.

9.WP CSS

This plugin GZIP and strip whitespace from your CSS files. It allows you to confidently use @import inside a CSS file and not worry about what happens on the user’s end. It will look through your style.css file and put any @import files into it. A cache expiry time can also be set. You can also add CSS files to a specific page or post and putting all of them into one file.

10.DB Cache

This plugin caches every database query with given lifetime. It is very fast and uses small disk space for caching.
I didn’t try this plugin yet but I’ve read many reviews recommending it. Let me know what do you guys think about it so we can update this post with correct information about its performance.

11.Speed up access to your favorite frameworks via the AJAX Libraries API

The AJAX Libraries API is an attempt to make Web applications faster for developers in simple ways by becoming a content distribution network and loading architecture for popular javascript libraries including:

You can either link to the source code directly:

view plain copy to clipboard print ?

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.6.0.2/prototype.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.6.0.2/prototype.js"></script>

Or you can use Google’s API:

view plain copy to clipboard print ?

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">google.load("prototype", "1.6.0.2");</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">google.load("prototype", "1.6.0.2");</script>

By using the google.load() method, your application has high speed, globally available access to a growing list of the most popular, open source and up to date JavaScript libraries.

12.Display page loading time + number of queries

Here is a simple code to insert on your template to know how long it took for your page to load, or how many sql queries were executed. This tip is very good for knowing how well is your WordPress blog is optimized.

view plain copy to clipboard print ?

<?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries in <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds.

<?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries in <?php timer_stop(1); ?>  seconds.

13.Optimize DB

MySQL is a great database, but it doesn’t clean itself up the way it should sometimes. This plugin runs an optimize table command on your WordPress tables, effectively defragmenting it. This is very useful for tables that are frequently updated. The interface is very simple at the moment: just one button: Optimize Now, and some info on how much space will be saved. It looks like this:

Display the number of SQL queries on your blog

2011-02-18T20:16:00.000+07:00

If you want to display how many SQL queries have been made to your database as I’ve done on this blog like this:

53 queries in 0.788 seconds

Just open the footer.php in your theme folder and paste the following code at anywhere you like:

1	<?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries in <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds

Another code for displaying that but except regular visitors and search engine bots, we will use a conditional function to do that:

1
2
3

<?php if (is_user_logged_in()) { ?>
<?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries in <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds.
<?php } ?>

The get_num_queries() function returns the number of executed query during your page loading.

Count the number of comments on your WordPress blog

2011-02-18T20:14:00.000+07:00

This article will guide you how to display the number of comments on your blog (of course those are approved comments) by a simple php code below.

<?php
global $wpdb;
$num_comments = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(comment_ID) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '1'");
if ($num_comments > 0) $num_comments = number_format($num_comments);
echo "There are " . $num_comments . " comments on my blog";
?>

Paste the code to places you like in your theme's php files. And this is a live demo
There are 1,172 comments on my blog
In the next article, I will guide you how to count the number of posts/pages on your blog. Remember to read!

Awesome WordPress hacks to make your blogger life easier

2011-02-18T20:06:00.002+07:00

WordPress hacks are always a popular topic here at Cats Who Code. Today, I have compiled hacks that will make your blogger life easier, by optimizing and simplifying how your WordPress blog works. Enjoy!

Hardcode to make WordPress faster

Hardcoding is generally not a good practice, however in the case of an established website, hardcoding your blog url, site url, template path and stylesheet path will make your blog run faster.
When a function such as bloginfo('url') is called, WordPress executes a query to your database to get the value, except if the value can be found on your wp-config.php file.
To hardcode those constants, edit wp-config.php and paste the following (Don’t forget to change the values!):

define('WP_HOME', 'http://seo-ho.blogspot.com/'); // blog url
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://seo-ho.blogspot.com/'); // site url
define('TEMPLATEPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/cwc5');
define('STYLESHEETPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/cwc5');

Set HTML editor as the default

I know a lot of tech-savvy persons who don’t really like WordPress “visual” editor. Personally, I don’t use it because I’m used to writing HTML, and also because WYSIWYG editors are more likely to produce bad, not valid or dirty code.
If you prefer using the HTML editor, then what about making it your blog default? Just paste the line below into your theme functions.php file, and you’re done.

view sourceprint?
1.add_filter('wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "html";'));

Source: http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-set-html-editor-as-the-default-in-wordpress

Make term edition a lot easier

For some reason, WordPress uploader won’t let you upload some filetypes, such as Textmate’s .tmCommand. If you need to upload those files to your WordPress blog, here is a very nice snippet that will allow you to do it.
Simply paste the following code on your functions.php file. If needed, you can add more file types by adding them on line 4, separated by a pipe (|)

view sourceprint?
<?php
function addUploadMimes($mimes) {
    $mimes = array_merge($mimes, array(
        'tmbundle|tmCommand|tmDragCommand|tmSnippet|tmLanguage|tmPreferences' => 'application/octet-stream'
    ));
 
    return $mimes;
}
?>
 
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'addUploadMimes');

Remove autolinks in comments

Links in comments can be a good thing when they’re useful and relevant, but unfortunely lots of people are just leaving links in your comments in order to get clicks and backlinks.
As this became a recurrent problem on my blogs, I’ve looked for a solution and found a piece of code that will make urls appears as text, not as links.
As always, the code have to be pasted to your functions.php file.

view sourceprint?
1.remove_filter('comment_text', 'make_clickable', 9);

Source: http://www.wprecipes.com/wordpress-hack-remove-autolinks-in-comments

Easily modify contact info

I always wondered why WordPress still has a Yahoo and a AIM field for user contact information while nowadays, services like Facebook or Twitter became a lot more popular.
This simple hack will remove the AIM, Yahoo and Jabber fields and will replace them with Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Just paste the code below in your functions.php file, and you’re ready to go.

view sourceprint?
function extra_contact_info($contactmethods) {
    unset($contactmethods['aim']);
    unset($contactmethods['yim']);
    unset($contactmethods['jabber']);
    $contactmethods['facebook'] = 'Facebook';
    $contactmethods['twitter'] = 'Twitter';
    $contactmethods['linkedin'] = 'LinkedIn';
 
    return $contactmethods;
}
add_filter('user_contactmethods', 'extra_contact_info');

Advanced users would probably enjoy this class which allow you to manage user contact info easily.

Leverage browser caching via .htaccess

One of the easiest way to improve your blog speed and general user experience is to leverage browser caching to reduce the number of http queries that the server needs to process. In fact, static files like images or PDF documents are not likely to change often so we can improve our blog speed by telling user browsers that they don’t need to download those files again if they’re already on the browser cache.
Open your .htaccess file (located at the root of your WordPress install) and paste the following. Remember to always make a backup before editing .htaccess.

view sourceprint?
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
 
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
ExpiresDefault "access 2 days"

10 Easy Ways to Secure your WordPress Blog

2011-02-18T20:02:00.000+07:00

Securing your blog is important. With WordPress so popular these days, it’s becoming a bigger and bigger target for hackers. In this post we’ll look at ten easy ways to secure your WordPress blog.

1. WP Security Scan

This very easy to use plugin will sort out some of the basic security issues with WordPress - it'll change your database's name and alert you to flaws in your installation's security, amongst other features.
Download.

2. Protect your plugins

Plugins are an easy way for a hacker to get access to your blog if they've got flaws in them. An easy way for hackers to find out which plugins you're using is to go to /wp-content/plugins/, and they'll find all the plugins that you're using. The solution? Put a blank index.html file in the wp-content/plugins/ folder.

3. Update WordPress

This is super-easy to do, but a surprising number of people don't do it: update WordPress. If you're super-security-conscious then don't upgrade to the next big release immediately (ie 2.8), wait for the bug fixes to come in (ie wait for 2.8.1).

4. Pick a good password

Common sense. Use a good password. Don't use the same password that you use on every site, create something that is easily memorable, with a mix of UPPER and lower case and some numbers in there too. Change your password regularly too.

5. Change the admin user name

By default, the WordPress user name is admin. [Lots]% of people don't change it. Why should you change it? If a hacker has your username, he's halfway there to getting into your site, he just has to guess your password. If the hacker has to guess your username as well, then that's twice as much work to do. It's super easy to migrate posts from one user to another, just create your new user and then delete the admin user. You'll be given the option to migrate posts to another user.

6. Protect your WP-Config.php file

Your WP-Config.php contains your database name, database username and database password. It's something to protect.
Just add the following code to your .htaccess file:

# protect wpconfig.php
 
order allow,deny from all

Source - Nometech.com

7. Hide your WordPress version

First off, go into your header.php file and remove the meta data (something like <meta name="generator" etc). Trouble is, WordPress adds in the meta data automatically! How do you remove it? Paste this code into your functions.php file.

<?php remove_action('wp_header', 'wp_generator'); ?>

Source - ProBlogDesign

8. Limit the number of times user can enter their password (wrongly)

The Login LockDown plugin will lock out users if they enter their password wrong too many times. You can choose how many times users can enter their password and also how long they're locked out for via a neat options page.
Download

9. Limit WP-Admin access by IP

This isn't something that I do personally, as I blog on a fair number of different computers, but if you're just on the one, with a fixed IP, then this is a great hack for you: you can restrict access to the wp-admin directory with a spluginimple .htaccess hack:

order deny, allow
allow from a.b.c.d. #your static ip
deny from all

Source - Nometech

10. Login via SSL

If your host has an SSL certificate then you can use this great little plugin to login via SSL. The Admin SSL plugin "secures login page, admin area, posts, pages - whatever you want - using Private or Shared SSL."

How do you get backlinks fast

2011-02-16T17:14:00.002+07:00

Create LinkBacks is one of the most important tasks for SEOer to optimize website search engine. Seoer always create a new backlinks not stop, however, while creating backlinks there are too many questions so we can complete a backlinks. This article will address some questions and help the newbie like me can create the backlinks as possible:
* How do I get backlinks fast?
* How much should build links every week, every month?
Does google have a fine website if I make too many links?
The answer to these questions will be thoroughly examined in this article. Let's start.
The backlinks built by nature.
"Nature" is mentioned here is that when consumers find and visit your Web site or through search engines or other sources, they see or read the contents and liked it so they link with it.
Of course visitors are not always related to it. So, this number may be very small, especially in Vietnam few people have the habit of sharing the news of foreign political and social life ... If you have a successful website without using any type of service SEO How, for example, link building, and you earn only a few natural links style in a month with some nice domain names.
Here are some sample data from the successful site (no link building services from SEO companies):
You'll notice that each site receives only up to 4 links per month from the website domain name beautiful. And at least one link per month. Data average of 2 links per month.
Note these pages have no problem with indexing or ranking. The data is to prove that backlinks do not need to create a large number of newly created good ranking results, it is important that it needs a star quality and natural properties to be sure.
Thing to remember when creating backlinks a "quality score of" other AOE pediatric doctors. With Google, links are highly linked to from within the site's content. These are quality links that will have a positive impact on your rankings. The growth of the link depends on the development of website content.
Remember that if you develop more quality content every day, the amount of viewers will increase significantly less than or update website content. With this strategy you would hope to receive more than one link that you put in it. For example, the site received comments as typical of the coment VNN been hacked, or have medical Wikileaks claims to Vietnam.
Forum is continually updated, as well as the blog, so you can expect a large number of visitors, may be related to a large number of your customers monthly
Slow and fast link acquisition may not hurt
A natural link is fast or slow the natural elements standing decision
for example, the site creates a large amount of public interest, such as Wikileaks. Consider what happened when Julian Assange released secret documents and confidential for your website Wikileaks. It creates great publicity, but also created a large number of links to your site.
So to answer the question: "How quickly I'll get links to my website?" "How much should build links every week, every month?" ... Then remember that If you are building a large number of links to your site, but want the number of links to your website reached a relative it is necessary to have a number of reasons. A good method is to create public opinion from your site. There are many simple and effective way to do this:
* Publication of controversial content or virus - Wikileaks is an example: publishing the story of the secret government will certainly create a lot of attention. VNN or hacked as well as disturbing public opinion
* Create the spread or through a video that interested readers can not be ignored.
* Spread over the image, this might be regarded as a strong spread globally, but should be legal, it's easy to scrape the ice germ;;). But there are so many things can spread, but still legally related to social life. Or a certain unique products from our store.
Some webmasters actively building backlinks. But it looks bad to build a large number backlinks to a site not updated at all or very little about its contents.

Developing as well as Managing Web Site Content

2011-02-16T17:05:00.000+07:00

Good metrics to establish a couple value: not toolbar pagerank

2011-02-16T17:01:00.002+07:00

If you asked me to name the greatest exasperation which you confront when trade with links, I’d have to contend which it’s the idea which Google’s Toolbar Page Rank is the many appropriate process of defining quality. The notoriously wily small metric, the TBPR has turn the unequivocally usual source of headaches for roughly everyone.
Two reasons:
1. Infrequently TBPR checkers don’t work.
Gah. you have twenty couple builders regulating the couple of opposite collection to check TBPR as well as might be 20% of the time, they send in the couple tighten inventory the TBPR though, when the single of us rough managers checks it, it’s display as unranked or it’s simply not the same series they primarily reported.
While you know this metric can vacillate, it doesn’t customarily shift from the 4 to unranked inside of the camber of 5 mins, upon the unchanging basis. What if you were acid for the great site to get the couple from as well as you found your undiluted page though it was display as unranked? Would you pass? Many couple builders would. That’s the great detriment of opportunity.
2. Many( many) people aren’t unequivocally sure what Toolbar Page Rank essentially indicates.
It’s erring to consider which this simply seen metric is the loyal approach to sign how profitable Google thinks your site is. Since you can’t demonstrate it any improved than David Harry, usually go as well as review what he has to contend upon the matter.
So if TBPR is so misunderstood as well as, um, not regularly rightly noticed by collection, what metrics CAN you operate to establish either the couple upon the site is worth starting after?
Since I’m gripping this elementary, here have been dual ways:
1. Relevance
Relevance is additionally wily in the small ways, as it’s unequivocally easy to chuck in keywords as well as have the poke engine consider you’re articulate about the sure subject even when it’s all nonsense. Recollect the days of keyword seasoned mixture calm? you recollect duplicating as well as pasting the same divide 5 times in the single page, usually to strength it out as well as have it have the great keyword density.
No, you don’t do which any some-more as well as approbation, you am embarrassed. Whole sites can be finished in this demeanour as well as it can infrequently take the tellurian user to acknowledge what’s starting on. Is it seasoned mixture, or it is the indeed applicable site?
Relevance counts to me especially since of the intensity to broach competent trade by links. We’re conference some-more about how Google might proceed to operate couple click inform to worth links, so those tiny-fonted footers aren’t starting to assistance you, if they still have been anyway.
No have the difference how great the site is which you get the couple upon, if it’s utterly not pertinent to what your site is, your possibility of the trade acclimatisation is lessened, as well as because rubbish which possibility? Contextual aptitude is even some-more critical than site aptitude, as you don’t need for the site to be 60 pages about cancer diagnosis options in sequence to get the great couple for the site which sells vegetarian cookbooks upon the page about eating reduction meat. you usually need the single great, contextually applicable page.
A couple of months ago you wrote about tangential aptitude upon this site. Basically, if you can have something applicable, it’s relevant. However, if you widen the aptitude to the indeed silly genius, you’ll substantially not be saying most trade from those links.
2. Quality of Backlinks
If the site has great, lawful backlinks, that’s most some-more critical to me than TBPR. If the site has been cited by the leaders/competitors in the niche I’m selling, which tells me which it has historically been the great anxiety as well as will hopefully go on to be one.

Get Quality Backlinks

High quality backlinks will help to increase your Google page rank. Don’t go around dumping your links all over the web. Blog on related blogs leaving quality comments. Get links from other high page rank sites. Bookmark your site at one or two high page ranking sites.

Guide to Improving Your Google PageRank

2011-02-14T16:54:00.002+07:00

How to improve your Google PageRank

By far the most common question webmasters have in relation to Google is: how do I improve [or increase] my PageRank? Before answering this question, it is important to take into consideration what PageRank is, how it is calculated, and what it means for your site.

Google PageRank, based on a scale of 0 to 10, is the means by which Google ranks the worth of particular site. Theoretically, a site with a PageRank of 8 is generally of more use to the average visitor than a site with a PageRank of 3. Accordingly, sites with higher PageRanks rank higher in the Google search results for a given keyword than those with lower PageRanks. The goal is to provide the user with the highest quality sites for a particular keyword first.

PageRank is calculated based almost entirely upon two factors: how many other sites link to your site, and the PageRank of those sites that link to you. Thus, ideally you want a lot of sites with high PageRanks to link to your site. Getting many low or no PageRank sites to link to your site won't do you much good – in fact, there is some evidence that Google penalizes sites that have an abnormally high number of low PageRank sites linking to them. This situation is usually indicative of someone trying to cheat the system by simply adding links to useless pages in so-called "link farms." So, in a sense, Google is capable of recognizing whether your site hangs out with a good crowd or a bad crowd by what kind of sites link to yours. It is much better to get a few sites with a high PageRank to link to yours (especially those with PageRanks higher than your own) than a bunch of sites with low or 0 PageRank.

PageRank is crucially important because it determines, in part, in what order your website will show up in Google's results. Besides PageRank, the other factor is largely website content – i.e. what your site actually contains, what keywords are present in your text and how often they appear. If two sites have basically the same content, cover the same topic, and have the same keyword saturation (the percentage of keywords in the entire text), then the one with the higher PageRank will almost always come out on top.

Okay, now for ways to improve your PageRank, legally and fairly:

Built good websites. If you construct a website that is useful to your visitors and has something original to contribute, other webmasters will recognize this and want to link to your site. Some of the best websites out there that are meaningful with lots of useful and original content also have thousands upon thousands of good inbound links. No one wants to link to a site that is poorly constructed, or fails to offer any original or useful information/ service. Simply put, the better your site is, the more links you will get, the more visitors will visit your site, and the higher the PageRank you will receive (which will, in turn, bring you more visitors, and the cycle continues).

Actively seek out healthy link partnerships. It usually isn't enough simply to build a good site and wait around for someone to notice. Contacting webmasters with similar websites in an attempt to exchange links is a good idea – if you do it right.

When looking to exchanging web links, you'll want to partner your site with other high-quality sites, preferably with those with PageRanks equal or greater than your own. Since Google calculates PageRank based upon the PageRank of sites linking to yours, this is of significant consequence to your site. And, of course, if your site is truly useful and professional, you are sure to get at least some webmasters to agree to link to your site. You can't expect 100% success, and sending out individual link requests can be a bit of a chore. However, we believe that it is indeed a worthwhile endeavor for those serious about improving their PageRank. To get some hints and tips about writing and sending out link exchange e-mails, see our "How to successfully request and obtain valuable links from sites with higher pageranks" page.

Stay clear of "link farms," fake SEO gimmicks, and low-ranking websites. If you pay some company to submit your site to 100,000 FFA pages, don't expect to get your money's worth. Getting a link to your site on thousands of low quality, low-ranking websites can actually decrease your PageRank, and overall standing with Google. Google's ranking mechanism will be able to detect that your site is listed on so many of these undesirable pages. In many cases, this is seen as an attempt to inflate your PageRank unfairly, and sites may be penalized as a result.

Likewise, refrain from using such illegal practices as "cloaking" in order to artificially inflate your PageRank. Google defines cloaking as "[a term] used to describe a website that returns altered webpages to search engines crawling the site. In other words, the webserver is programmed to return different content to Google than it returns to regular users, usually in an attempt to distort search engine rankings. This can mislead users about what they'll find when they click on a search result." Using cloaking or other illegal tricks can – and almost certainly will – result in the penalization of your site, or removal from the Google index altogether.

We realize that these suggestions and strategies offer no silver bullet to increasing your Google PageRank. However, they are time-tested methods of truly increasing your PageRank over time. If you are committed to the task, and have created a useful website, there is no reason why you cannot significantly raise the PageRank of your site.

Google Page Rank : What You Need to Know

2011-02-14T16:52:00.002+07:00

Now that you’ve got your new website up and running, it’s time to start building your Google Page Rank, or "PR". Page rank is the value that Google gives your site, measured by how many quality links are pointing back to your site, or how popular your site is. The more links you have pointing back to your site, namely quality links from sites with a higher PR, the higher your site will be ranked in Google’s search engine. The rank is on a scale of 0-10 - ten being the highest rank of course! It takes time to get a PR higher than zero when first starting out. This is partly because once you submit your URL to Google and other search engines, it may take weeks or even months before it is indexed. It may also be partly due to the fact that you just need to build good content for your site, and have your links on other people’s websites all over the web. Even if you have a PR of 1-5, you are doing well, even though it may not sound like it. The challenge is for webmasters to increase their PR as much and as quickly as possible, but how?

First of all, there are some tools you can use to check your PR, namely the Google Page Rank Toolbar, which can be downloaded for free from the Google site, and is installed onto your browser. This allows you to check your own site’s PR, as well as those of other sites you visit, which will give you a good clue as to which sites you should be linking to. Linking to sites with a higher PR will increase your site’s PR. It’s a good idea to do a Google search for keywords related to your site’s content, and choose sites to link to whose PR you know in advance. You can send an email to that webmaster asking to exchange links. Not all of them will accept, but the few that do could increase your PR very quickly just by linking to your site!

Next, it’s important to do some serious keyword research using a keyword search tool, one of the most popular being Overture’s keyword search tool. With this tool, or other similar tools, you would type in search terms, such as "make money online". Since this is a very broad search term, it is going to be highly competitive and will generate a high number of results for number of times that term has been searched. When optimizing your site, you want to avoid these highly competitive terms and use keywords that generate fewer results, by coming up with a keyword that is searched less, but still popular.

There are a few tricks to getting ranked higher with regards to keywords, such as changing some of your source code keywords. For example, you can change the title tag of your site to match the optimized keywords you want to use. You can also look at the source code of other people’s sites by clicking View/Source in your browser while visiting their site to see how optimized their site is and which tags and images they use or don’t use. It is helpful to highlight, bold, or italicize your website keywords to get a higher rank, especially if your competition is not doing that. If you check what your competition is doing, and do what the higher ranked sites are doing, you may be able to outrank them!

What is Page Rank and How Does It Work?

2011-02-14T16:50:00.002+07:00

As 2006 faced its last weeks, Google was the favorite among search engine. Most of Google's popularity is credited to its preferred form of search engine optimization, a trademarked program Google dubbed Google PageRank.

PageRank defined

According to www.pro-seo.com/glossary.html, Check PageRank aka PR is one of the methods Google uses to determine the relevance or importance of a Web page. PageRank is a vote, by all the other Web pages on the Internet, about how important a Web page is. A link to a Web page counts as a vote of support. If there are no incoming links to a Web page then there is no support.

Google explains it just about the same. Each link is considered to be a vote; however, Google does not consider all votes to be equal. It considers some votes to be more important or valuable than others.

PageRank explained

Google Pagerank Search Engines operates under a democratic nature by determining web relevance with links which are considered votes. Each vote counts, but not all the votes are counted the same. During its analyses Google looks at more than just the volume of votes a webpage receives, it also takes into account the page that cast the vote.

"Important" sites help to make other sites "important." In other words if a high ranking site offers the link then Google counts this vote more heavily. Thus a link for a site in the top ten can help your website, while a link from a site that is low in rank, or doesn’t relate to your site, does very little to improve your search engine ranking.

Google has designed Google PageRank to be an eight-unit measurement. It displays the value PageRank places on each website directly beside each website it displays.

Why does the page matter as opposed to the volume? Due to spamdexing Google had to make its analysis stricter. People were swapping links with one another in mass quantities, or buying them from other websites. To combat this Google made the quality of the link outweigh the actual quantity. In 2005, it designed and activated a program called nofollow, a program they designed to allow webmasters and bloggers to create links that PageRank would ingnore. The same system was also used to keep spamdexing to a minumum.

Content analysis

Anyone who surfs the net knows that "important" pages mean nothing if the do not suit your needs. This is why in addition with PageRank, Google uses sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are relevant to your query.

Many SEOs are fixated with search engine ranking and this is understandable as it is one of the best ways to gain traffic, but while they are out there trying to get links from high PageRanking pages, they need to keep in mind that PageRanking alone is not enough.

To Check PageRank is essentially, only a score that represents the value of a page, as Google determines it. Getting a link to your pages from a high PR page will add some value to your page. But that does not take into account the context of the link -- the words in the link -- the anchor text. Your SEO plan should contain more than just PageRanking in order for you to have long term success on the internet.

Google Analytics Installation Guide

2011-02-13T11:04:00.000+07:00

The Google Analytics Installation Guide is intended to allow you to quickly set up and configure a successful set of reports for a profile. If you need more detailed information on any topic, please search our Help Center.

Step 1 - Create a Google Analytics account

Step 2 - Configure your profile

Step 3 - Edit the tracking code for custom website setups

Step 4 - Add the tracking code to your pages

Step 5 - Link with your AdWords account

Step 6 - Create goals and funnels

Step 7 - Tag your advertising campaigns

Step 8 - Creating Filters

Step 9 - Grant access to other users

Step 10 - Enable e-commerce transaction tracking

Step 1 - Create a Google Analytics account

Note to AdWords users: Google Analytics is able to import and track cost data from Google AdWords if your AdWords and Analytics accounts are linked. Please sign in to your AdWords account and follow the instructions once you've clicked 'Google Analytics' from the Reporting tab.
To create an Analytics account:

Visit http://www.google.com/analytics.
Enter your Google Account email and password and click Sign In. If you don't have a Google Account, click Sign up now to create one.
Click Sign Up.
Enter your Website's URL, making sure to select either http:// or https:// from the drop-down list. Enter a nickname for this account in the Account Name field, then click Continue.
Enter your contact information and click Continue.
Read the Google Analytics Terms of Service. If you agree to these terms, select the Yes checkbox and click Create New Account to continue.

The Tracking Instructions page that appears contains the tracking code that you'll need to paste into each page of your site. We recommend completing some additional steps before pasting this code, however, to ensure that the data you collect is relevant. If you'd prefer to install the tracking code right away, please skip to Step 4 for instructions.
Otherwise, click Continue on the Tracking Instructions page to access your new account.

Step 2 - Configure your profile

It's important to configure your profile in order to get the most out of your reports. To access your profile settings:

In the Website Profiles table, find the profile to edit.
Click Edit. The Profile Settings page appears.
Click Edit on the Main Website Profile Information table.

Default page
Setting this to the default (or index) page of your site allows Google Analytics to reconcile log entries for www.example.com and www.example.com/index.html, for example. These are in fact the same page, but are reported as two distinct pages until the Default Page setting has been configured.
Exclude URL Query Parameters
Does your site use dynamic session or user identifiers? You can tell Analytics to ignore these variables and not count them as unique pages. Enter any query parameters to exclude, separated with commas.
E-Commerce Website
To enable e-commerce reporting and the E-Commerce Analysis report set, select Yes. More information on e-commerce reporting is available in Step 10.

Step 3 - Edit the tracking code for custom website setups

The tracking code that is provided to you is designed to work with most site setups. However, there are a few scenarios that require small updates to the tracking code on each of your pages. If any of the following apply to you, follow the instructions to update your code before adding it to your pages.
Learn how to:

Track multiple domains in one profile (eg. a main site as well as a secure store site)
Track more than one subdomain in one profile
Track multiple domain aliases

Step 4 - Add the tracking code to your pages

Add the tracking code to your pages
Google Analytics only tracks pages that contain the Google Analytics tracking code. You'll need to add this code to each page of your site, either manually or through the use of includes or other methods.
To access your tracking code:

Sign in to Google Analytics.
From the Analytics Settings page, find the profile for which you would like to retrieve the tracking code. Please note that tracking code is profile-specific.
From that profile's Settings column, click Edit.
At the top right of the Main Website Profile Information box, click Check Status.
Your tracking code can be copied and pasted from the text box in the Instructions for adding tracking section.

Basic installation - Copy and paste the code segment into the bottom of your content, immediately before the </body> tag of each page you are planning to track. If you use a common include or template, you can enter it there.

You'll need to update the "xxxx-x" in the sample above with your own Google Analytics account number. You can access your personalized tracking code in its entirety by following the instructions in Where can I find my tracking code?
Once you've completed this step, Google Analytics will begin collecting traffic data. You'll be able to see data in your reports within 24 hours.
Database driven sites - Insert the tracking code on your index.php page or equivalent (eg. default.php, index.cfm).
Pages with frames - A web page containing frames will generate multiple pageviews: one for the framing page (containing either a FRAMESET or IFRAME tag within its HTML code), and one for each page shown in a frame. As a result, pageviews may be somewhat inflated. Even if a page on your site only appears as a frame for another page, we still recommend tagging it with the entire tracking code. If a visitor reaches the page through a search engine or a direct link from another site and the page doesn't contain the tracking code, the referral, keyword and/or campaign information from the source will be lost.
Please see How do I interpret the reports for a website that has frames?

Step 5 - Link with your AdWords account

For AdWords advertisers, Google Analytics can currently import cost data from AdWords campaigns. To link your AdWords and Analytics accounts, sign in to your AdWords account and follow the steps provided after you click 'Google Analytics' from the Reporting tab.

Step 6 - Create goals and funnels

If your website is designed to drive visitors to a particular page, such as a purchase or email signup page, you can track the number of successful conversions using goals and funnels in Google Analytics.

A goal is a website page a visitor reaches once she or he has made a purchase or completed another desired action, such as a registration or download.
A funnel represents the path that you expect visitors to take in order to reach the goal. Defining these pages allows you to see how frequently visitors abandon goals (and where they go instead) and the value of the goal.

Each profile can have up to 4 goals, with a defined funnel for each. To set up goals and funnels:
Enter Goal Information:

From the Analytics Settings page, find the profile for which you will be creating goals and click Edit.
Select one of the four goal slots available for that profile and click Edit.
Enter the Goal URL. Reaching this page marks a successful conversion. For example, a registration confirmation page, a checkout complete page, or a thank you page.
Enter the Goal name as it should appear in your Google Analytics account.
Turn the goal On or Off. This selection decides whether Google Analytics should track this conversion goal at this time. Generally, you'll want to set the Active Goal selection to On.

Then, Define a funnel by following these steps:

Enter the URL of the first page of your conversion funnel. This page should be a page that is common to all users working their way towards your Goal. For example, if you are tracking user flow through your checkout pages, do not include a product page as a step in your funnel.
Enter a Name for this step.
If this step is a Required step in the conversion process, select the checkbox to the right of the step. If this checkbox is selected, users reaching your goal page without travelling through this funnel page will not be counted as conversions.
Continue entering goal steps until your funnel has been completely defined. You may enter up to 10 steps, or as few as a single step.

Finally, configure Additional settings by following the steps below:

If the URLs entered above are Case sensitive, select the checkbox.
Enter a Goal value. This is the value used in Google Analytics' ROI calculations, and can be either a set value for the page, or a dynamic value pulled from your e-commerce receipt page. If the former, enter the amount in the field; if the latter, leave this field blank and refer to How do I track e-commerce transactions?
Select a Match Type. There are three different Match Types you may select for your goal: Exact, Head, or Regular Expression.
- Exact Match: This option requires that the URLs entered as your funnel and goal URLs exactly match the URLs shown in the reports. For example, there can be no dynamic session identifiers or query parameters. Note: If you are using an exact match for a goal (i.e. http://domain.com/page.html), any trailing spaces will cause the goal to be invalid. If you are using partial matching (i.e. ^/page.html), trailing spaces are not an issue.
- Head Match: If your website has dynamically generated content, use the Head Match filter and leave out the unique values. For example, if the URL for a particular user is http://www.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&id=9982251615 but the id varies for every other user, enter http://www.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1 and select Head Match as your match type.
- Regular Expression Match: This option uses regular expressions to match your URLs. This is useful when the stem, trailing parameters, or both can vary between users. For example, if a user could be coming from one of many subdomains, and your URLs use session identifiers, use regular expressions to define the constant element of your URL. For example, page=1 will match "http://sports.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&id=002" as well as "http://fishing.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&language=fr&id119."
Click Save Changes to create this Goal and funnel, or Cancel to exit without saving.

Please see the following articles for more information on setting up goals:

Step 7 - Tag your advertising campaigns

Note to AdWords users: If you'll only be tracking AdWords campaigns, you may skip this step. Once you've linked your AdWords and Analytics accounts, AdWords keywords are automatically tagged with the required tracking variables.
Tagging your online ads is an important prerequisite to allowing Google Analytics to show you which marketing activities are really paying off. Tagging involves inserting and defining specific variables into the links that lead to your website.
Generally speaking, you need to tag all of your paid keyword links, your banners and other ads, and the links inside your promotional email messages, except those in Google AdWords, which are automatically tagged. Fortunately, the tagging process goes smoothly once you understand how to differentiate your campaigns. In addition, the URL Builder tool makes it easy to tag your links.
For a full explanation of tagging your links, please read How do I tag my links? If you'd like to get started quickly, refer to the table below.

Variable	Name	Description
utm_source	Source	Every referral to a web site has an origin, or source . Examples of sources are the Google search engine, the AOL search engine, the name of a newsletter, or the name of a referring web site.
utm_medium	Medium	The medium helps to qualify the source; together, the source and medium provide specific information about the origin of a referral. For example, in the case of a Google search engine source, the medium might be "cost-per-click", indicating a sponsored link for which the advertiser paid, or "organic", indicating a link in the unpaid search engine results. In the case of a newsletter source, examples of medium include "email" and "print".
utm_term	Term	The term or keyword is the word or phrase that a user types into a search engine.
utm_content	Content	The content dimension describes the version of an advertisement on which a visitor clicked. It is used in content-targeted advertising and Content (A/B) Testing to determine which version of an advertisement is most effective at attracting profitable leads.
utm_campaign	Campaign	The campaign dimension differentiates product promotions such as "Spring Ski Sale" or slogan campaigns such as "Get Fit For Summer".

An example URL:

Step 8 - Creating Filters

A filter is used to include, exclude, or change the representation of certain information in a report.
Filters aren't required, but using them will help you define what data you see and how you see it. Since filters affect the way data is displayed in your reports, it is important to get them set up as soon as possible. Filters added after your account begins collecting data will not affect your old data.
You'll want to create filters if:

you want to see reports for a certain subdomain or subdirectory only
you'd like to exclude traffic from certain people or places
your dynamic parameters would be more easily readable as descriptive text strings

There are a number of other reasons that you may want filters, but if none of these apply to you, you can safely skip ahead to the next step.
A filter consists of:

The name of the filter
The type of filter you would like to implement
The filter field that is affected. More information about these fields is available from our Help Center: What information do the filter fields represent?
The filter pattern is the string that will be matched against the filter field. This field uses regular expressions, a special syntax that uses wildcards and text strings for matching. Please read What are regular expressions? for instructions and tips.

To create a filter:

Click the Filter Manager link from the Analytics Settings page.
Click Add Filter.

Filter Types
Analytics provides three predefined filters, useful for common tasks, as well as a number of custom filters.
Predefined filters:

Exclude all clicks from a domain (hostname): use this filter to exclude clicks that originate from a specific network, such as your internal work network.
Exclude all clicks from an IP address: this filter works to exclude clicks from certain sources. You can enter a single IP address, or a range of addresses
Include only traffic from a subdirectory: use this filter if you want a profile to report only on a particular subdirectory (such as www.example.com/motorcycles)

Custom filters:

Exclude Pattern: This type of filter excludes log file lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern. Matching lines are ignored in their entirety; for example, a filter that excludes Netscape will also exclude all other information in that log line, such as visitor, path, referral, and domain information.
Include Pattern: This type of filter includes log file lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern. All non-matching hits will be ignored and any data in non-matching hits is unavailable to the Urchin reports.
Search & Replace: This is a simple filter that can be used to search for a pattern within a field and replace the found pattern with an alternate form.
Lookup Table: Selecting this filter allows you to select a lookup table name which may be used to map codes to human intelligible labels. For example, the phone models table maps abbreviated phone platform identifiers to the model and manufacturer names for phone based web browsers.
Advanced: This type of filter allows you to build a field from one or two other fields. The filtering engine will apply the expressions in the two Extract fields to the specified fields and then construct a field using the Constructor expression. Read the Advanced Filters article for more information.
Uppercase / Lowercase: Converts the contents of the field into all uppercase or all lowercase characters. These filters only affect letters, and will not affect characters or numbers.

Common uses
Report traffic to a subdomain only - If you have your tracking code on your entire domain, but would like to view reports about a particular subdomain on their own, you can create a filter to include only traffic to your subdomain.
Filter Type: Custom filter > Include
Filter Field: Hostname
Filter Pattern: subdomain\.example\.com
Case Sensitive: No
This will exclude all traffic that is not on the domain subdomain.example.com.
Exclude internal IP addresses - If you'd like to exclude traffic from internal IP addresses, so that your own visits and those of your employees don't show up in your reports, enter your IP address in the filter below. You can also filter out a range of addresses, as in the second example. Remember to use regular expressions in the IP Address field.
Filter Type: Exclude all traffic from an IP address
IP Address: 99\.999\.999\.9
Or, to filter a range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.125:
Filter Type: Exclude all traffic from an IP address
IP Address: ^192\.168\.1\.([1-9]|[1-9][0-9 ]|1[01][0-9]|12[0-5])$

Step 9 - Grant access to other users

Google Analytics provides the ability to add any number of users to your account, and to grant varying levels of access to your reports..
Granting profile access
To allow access to another user, follow the instructions below. Please note that additional users will need to create a free Google Account in order to be granted access.

Click User Manager.
Click Add.
Enter the user's email address, last name, and first name.
Select the User Type for this user: View reports only, or Account Administrator, which allows the user to edit account settings.
If you selected View reports only, select the profiles to which this user should have access (note that Account Admins have access to all profiles). Reports for profiles that are not selected will not be available to this user.
Click Add to move these profiles into the Selected Website Profiles list.
Click Finish to create the new user.

Step 10 - Enable e-commerce transaction tracking

With some simple additions to your receipt page, Google Analytics can automatically detect and record transaction and product information. The required information is placed into a hidden form which is parsed for transaction and product information. Most template driven e-commerce systems can be modified to include this information in the receipt.
You'll also need to enable e-commerce reporting for your website's profile:

From the Analytics Settings page, click Edit next to the profile you would like to enable.
Click Edit from the Main Website Profile Information box
Change the E-commerce Website radio button from No to Yes.

Writing the required information
Somewhere in the receipt, below the tracking code, the following lines need to be written by your engine. Everything in brackets should be replaced by actual values, as described in How do I track e-commerce transactions?

pageTracker._addItem( "1234", // Order ID "DD44", // SKU "T-Shirt", // Product Name "Green Medium", // Category "11.99", // Price "1" // Quantity ); pageTracker._trackTrans(); } catch(err) {} </script>

Refer to How do I track e-commerce transactions? for further instructions on writing transaction information to your receipt pages.
More information

Google AdSense Help index site better?

2011-02-12T20:39:00.000+07:00

This is something I discovered by chance when put the block of Google ads on his blog. When I finished building my blog, I've placed the Google ad block, but then one time I remove Google ads from my blog by two reasons:

First: "Content is King - Content is the King", this is a long term strategy I applied for my blog. Therefore I have removed the Google ads and decided to develop content for blogs and find ways to promote it before thinking about making money from it.

Monday: Because not many people know what traffic is low and should certainly not highly effective. In place for nearly a month block Google ads, I earn only 9USD, but most of that money brought back from referring users download the toolbar from Firefox and Google search. Because efficiency is not high, it's more slow loading speed of my blog so I decided to remove the blog from Google AdSense.

After removing Google AdSense, I worked hard to write and write and promote your blog in many places, many large forums in hopes they will help Pagerank Google will visit my blog frequently and index many more. But the result is not what I expected.

This is the chart shows how often you visit to Google's bot indexed for blogs:

Before removing from Google AdSense blog, the page number on my blog indexed by Google is much more than the other search engines. But now, the search engine the other indexes my blog more detail you can see results in 3 major search engines on the Internet are Yahoo, AlltheWeb and Altavista. They were mostly indexed to every corner of my blog.

Left Google, why? The result is increasingly getting worse, not only do not visit as often as longer place ads, not only does not add an index page for my blog but even more on the number of pages in my blog in Google's index shrinking.

During the search process for the development blog, I've tried many times and change keyword Title and description meta tags to blog in hope to find a title and some keyword optimization for your blog . I think that this is one of the causes disorientation when Google index my blog. What about other causes?

While Google has increasingly reduced levels of regular visits and indexes blog, Yahoo, AlltheWeb and Altavista are growing and mostly they do not skip any corners on my blog. Therefore I think is also another reason Google made fewer visits to my blog, and I thought it was caused by my blog removed from Google AdSense.

Why do I put such assumptions?

First, comparison chart clearly shows that Google has at least visit my blog more often after I remove AdSense. This is obviously the fact that I saw.

Monday: The children of Google AdSense Bot and are sure to have a relationship with each other. Make sure that the keywords to display your AdSense ads will be taken from the data by this Bot collected. Not stupid, but Google has developed two systems collect different information for Google Search and Google AdSense as this is very expensive and very wasteful. Just make sure they have a database to use for both Google Search and Google AdSense. Bot will help you gather information about the site to use AdSense and AdSense will help reverse the Bot regular operations and more effective. So I think to remove the AdSense ad block is a mistake.

Tuesday: I think Google will care and pay more attention to the site can put their ads. Because of websites and blogs in particular are growing like mushrooms should be asking Google to visit often as it used to be impossible. And we see is the actual extent of visiting the small Sie Google Bot fewer children and extra travel. We all acknowledge that Google brings purpose community is great, but they must because of them. Therefore they must pay more attention the site has put their ads, it is also optimized for their profit.

For this reason, I suggested: "Put AdSense ads on a site visit and will help Google index your site more often and better."

This could be a new discovery of mine, but can also be a knowledge of old people have long known that I do not know. This may be true but also could be wrong, simply because that's just assume for a personal event that is not widely tested. So I hope you all to review and comment on the subject.

And to clarify this assumption, I continue to put Google AdSense ads on his blog to verify.

How to Remove Date From Meta Descriptions in WordPress

2011-02-12T18:02:00.000+07:00

Since I’ve changed my wordpress theme, I noticed that dates were being added in front of my meta descriptions in Google Search engine results page. Obviously, I first checked my source code as I thought it was my mistake, although all descriptions have been optimised correctly. I also thought that maybe those descriptions were too short/ long – that was not the case either…
Showing date in front of meta descriptions has its pros and cons though. When you update your blog very often (even a few times a day) and if you write news related posts, it is pretty useful from user perspective to know when the post was written. However, if you don’t write very often (like myself) and you cover non-news related content, showing the post date in SERP, can actually harm your Click Through Rate (CRT): First of all, the content is (usually) not fresh, secondly it does not look appealing. Therefore, I’ve decided to remove date from meta descriptions.
There are many different opinions how Google actually gathers those dates. Some of us say it is from RSS feeds or sitemaps, which might be true, although in my case the dates were taken from my blog posts.

Remove Date From Meta Descriptions- a simple solution

When I looked into source code in single.php, I noticed that automatically generated date has been included in a single div in the HTML header, just under the title, as below:
<div class=”post-meta-data”> Added <?php the_time(‘M j, Y’);?>, Under: <?php the_category(‘,’)?></div>
So what to do with this piece of annoying little code…
Google is not able to read pictures nor some javascripts, so if I don’t want Google to read the date, let’s put it into javascript and the job should done (at least for awhile).
Here is how I dealt with it:
<div class=”post-meta-data”> Added <script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”> document.write(‘<?php the_time(‘j’) ?>’); </script> <?php the_time(‘M Y’) ?> , Under: <?php the_category(‘,’)?> </div>
after which I resubmitted Sitemap.
When Google started crawling my pages and caching their new versions, viola! The dates for my posts Were GONE! Happy days:) (as I could not sleep because of that!)

Remove ‘Category Base’ From Permalinks

2011-02-12T17:56:00.002+07:00

It can be a very frustrating issue and I know that many bloggers have problem with it… I am talking about inability to remove the ‘Category Base’ from the url permalink structure. From my experience it is a quite serious problem when optimising WordPress. Worry not. Mags will show you how to fix it…;) (God bless you!!!-Filipe Fortes!!:)
Quick installation of Top Level Categories plug-in:
1. Log-in to your wordpress account
2. Go to Add new Plug-in
3. Click Top Level Categories and search for it
4. Install and activate it and that’s it!
It will automatically remove ‘category base’ from your URL, so Google can crawl deeper into your website…
By the way, I just checked- Matt Cutts, Google Guru;), didn’t delete categories from the URLs on his main blog (!) (he uses ‘type’ instead)
Hope it will help you. The problem is, every time when I create a new wordpress website, I don’t remember the name of the plug-in and have to search online again;)

First Steps in SEO

2011-02-11T19:18:00.002+07:00

Today Internet has become a source of potentially huge earnings and so businessmen who normally operate "offline" try to expand their business (usually small to moderate) to new sphere. In most cases these people first become overwhelmed by the number of new terms and information. Usually they become bombarded by offers and spam messages from people who call themselves SEO experts and offer tremendous results within short time. In order not to waste your time and money on a service with doubtful quality, read this article first.
Let's start with several questions to people who are new businesses. What do you expect from SEO? Do you want to use it because you want to see your website on the top page of search engine listings? Or would you like to know what people want and seek in products like yours and want to apply SEO because it's known as a mirror of people searches?
If your primary aim is to become #1 in your field, think again prior to starting. Today search engines use complicated algorithms that involve multiple factors and it is, in true, unlikely for any new business to become high rated by search engine within short period of time. You will have to wait and, maybe, you will have to wait for a long time. Are you prepared for this?
I may suggest you have seen so many "super offers" that promise to make your website popular and "defeat Google", but believe me, these are nothing but marketing tricks that have one aim – make you open your wallet and pay. If you purchase one of such programs, most probably the only thing you get will be some basic SEO knowledge that can be accessed online for free and, maybe, a couple of tricks got from blogs devoted to SEO.
In general these "super programs" are nothing but a waste of money. Search engines like Google have crews of talented programmers who work on the same problem – how to make sophisticated search algorithms and better crawl websites. Even if some individual programmer finds out a "gap", it will be closed pretty soon.
So you may wonder there's no way to become top ranked within short time. No, there's one way and it implies spending money. This means you should participate in paid listings. Sign up for Google AdWords program, select your keywords, set up highest winning bid and your website will appear at the very top and in right column of search results that include your keywords. It sounds simple, but there are several problems that must be mentioned.
First, not all businessmen have sufficient funds for such Internet campaigns. If you just start your business online, most probably you're ready to spend some cash, but you'd like to escape serious investments. Second – people who use Google often know where paid advertisements are located and they expect to see paid service or product there. That is why people usually prefer clicking the results of organic search first.
So now let's move back to the question posted below. SEO is really important for new businesses because this is the only way to make search engine pay attention to things you offer and they may be pretty close to the products wanted by your potential customers.
The points that will be important for beginners:
- Proper keywords. Find out what people type in their search engine bars when they try to find a product similar to the one you offer. Make sure you use these keywords in your content and most important one is present in your domain name and titles.
- Check your sitemap. It should be well-organized and provide error free data. Check inner linking system. It should be simple, but effective.
- Someone has told famous "content is king". Today this phrase is still very true. Content rich in keywords wins. Do not turn your website into a bare price list. Each product should have a description between 300-700 symbols. Note images are good for people, but search engine robots cannot index information on pictures, so try to create a combination between images and text.
- Incoming links and outcoming links. When you post links to other websites, be careful. Post links wisely and preferably to related websites. Avoid numerous links to unrelated ones as this may cause lowering in the rank. In worst case your website can be considered as spam by Google.
